at Wembley to lift the FA
cup.
Szczesny does have more Champions League experience and will be desperate to impress, while missing a
cup game and coming back

Arsenal fans will be celebrating another FA
Cup final this
weekend after their 2 - 1 win over Reading

Arsenal have already got through to the next round of the FA
cup without the Spaniard
at right back, although it was a much harder
game against Preston North End than we would have liked, and there is good reason to expect us to do the same away to Swansea City in the Premier League this

cup semi-final with Reading
at Wembley next

at Monaco and our superb League form.
Even though Arsene Wenger made a complete change to the Arsenal starting line from the
weekend draw away to Chelsea in the Premier League, he was still not willing to take too many chances in this Carabao
